Chapter 6-Embrace Labels

Most people in society tend to avoid labels, especially negative ones. Some people like the diverse identity and encourage labels. One example of this is teenagers who use strange techniques to rebel and reject against adult norms. In this picture is my little sister who does just this. In this picture she had just shaved her head off, not caring what anybody thinks. The norm for teenage girls is long, always styled hair and she went against this norm and embraced whatever labels people could throw her way. Also in my family, we have always been told to stick with our natural hair; so natural hair is the adult norm we saw in our parents. By my sister chopping all her hair off (after dying it pink by the way), she is refuting all adult norms we grew up knowing.
